These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Spell of Switzerland: Look inside the book: But when, as the Wordsworth line has it, “Ruth was left half desolate” (though her father did not “take another mate”), and they showed me how delightfully I could dispose of my library and have an open fire on cold winter evenings, and what a perfect position was, as it were, destined for my baby grand—for I am devoted to music—en amateur, of course,—I yielded, and for ten happy years, saw Ruth grow from a young girl into the woman “nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command.” ...We three happened to be together one morning and I had the curiosity to ask them, as intelligent men, what they thought of the “initiative and referendum,” which I understood was a characteristic Swiss institution, and which a good many Americans believed ought to be introduced into our American system of conducting affairs, as being more truly democratic than entrusting the settlement of great questions to our Representatives in Congress or in Legislature assembled.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Switzerland, the South of France, and the Pyrenees A little before sunset, I found my way to the neighbourhood of the cathedral, where a terrace planted with chestnut-trees overhangs the Rhine, which flows about two hundred feet below. Here I cuj oyed a charming prospect, not altogether of a Swiss landscape, but in which were mingled some of the features of Swiss scenery. A delightful little plain, covered with thickets and small coun try-houses, extended from the opposite bank of the river to the foot of the hills which stretch through the territory of Baden. These formed a fine back-ground, chequered as the were by sunshine and shade. Up and down t e Rhine, the gardens of the citizens, full of choice shrubs and flowers, sloped down to the river side while on one bank, the picturesque buildings of Little Basil, and on the other the superb edifices of the rich merchants, extended as far as the eye could follow the curve of the river. Switzerland seemed still to lie beyond for, as the sun continued to sink, it suddenly disappeared behind a lofty range of mountains which bounded the horizon, and which form an appendage to the J ura.

Download or read book The Spell of the Sensuous written by David Abram and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.
